Led a collaborative effort with the University of Evansville and the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation to achieve a federal Promise Neighborhoods designation, helping to put $30MM of federal funds in the hands of 23 local area partners. With my experience, I can help organizations:• Establish clear revenue and expense projections, making monthly and quarterly business assessments simple and easy to understand. • Learn how to incorporate regional and national best practice strategies to both increase effectiveness and garner the attention of funders and influential leaders.• Build relationships with the most important stakeholders an organization already possesses, and identify and prioritize new strategic partnerships for development. I have cultivated and stewarded relationships with organization leaders, business leaders, and donors who support our mission. I am always eager to learn new skills and best practices to enhance my effectiveness and efficiency as a nonprofit leader.In short - I'm the kind of person who can bring people together to accomplish any task. The very best way to motivate me to get something done is to tell me it's impossible!
